I want to disagree with your suggestion. /root is the home directory of 
the superuser and should not be placed on a network device in opposite
of the home directories of the ordinary users. The user root should be
able to logon without a network connection to do any rescue work on
the system.

I want to consider, that /etc should be mounted on a writeable partition
in opposite of /usr to allow changes without remounting.
